Dentures are an excellent replacement for injured or removed teeth. Like natural teeth, they require regular high-quality cleaning from the accumulation of bacteria and food debris. Failure to comply with hygiene rules can lead to the development of fungal or bacterial infections of the oral cavity, inflammation of the gums, caries, and bad breath. To prevent these problems, specialists have developed toothbrushes for dentures . They contribute to effective cleaning of products, prevent the growth of microbes and protect the health of the oral cavity.
How is a denture brush different from a regular brush?
1) Has two heads on each side: one with soft bristles for cleaning the smooth surface of dentures, the second with stiffer bristles formed into a bundle for cleaning hard-to-reach places, crevices, and clamps.
2) Specially shaped bristles to match the shape of dentures.
3) Ergonomic handle: promotes better cleaning of devices.
We do not recommend using a regular toothbrush for cleaning, as the hard bristles can scratch and damage the "false teeth."
What are the advantages of a denture cleaning brush ?
1) Soft bristles. Since dentures are softer than natural teeth, they also need to be cared for more gently. A denture brush has soft but strong bristles that effectively clean the surface of the product without causing damage or abrasion.
2) Two heads for quality cleaning. The denture toothbrush has two heads designed for different purposes. For example, the flat head is suitable for cleaning smooth surfaces, the conical head is for hard-to-reach places and "artificial gums", where the most bacteria and food debris accumulate. Thanks to this, you can effectively clean all areas of the dentures, leaving no place for bacteria to grow.
3) Easy cleaning process. The comfortable ergonomic non-slip handle and special shape of the toothbrush contribute to quick cleaning of dentures. Apply special toothpaste and brush for two minutes. Cleaning fixed dentures is similar to the cleaning process of natural teeth. Removable products must first be rinsed with a special solution, then thoroughly cleaned with a brush and toothpaste.
4) Availability. Toothbrushes for dentures can be found in regular pharmacies, dental clinics, and online stores.
